FestiWeather’s forecast has a single millimetre of rain due to fall over the entire Wednesday-Sunday period, with that cooling splash of cloud water arriving on the Saturday. The BBC shows how the build-up to the festival is likely to be dry – important for keeping the ground firm for when punters arrive – and also forecasts nothing more serious than a light rain shower during the festival itself, again due to hit on Saturday during the day.

Metcheck is similarly positive, predicting a small amount of rain (1.5mm) on Thursday but virtually nothing over the rest of the weekend. Temperatures, it predicts, could rise to around 23C over the course of the weekend.

According to Guardians summary of the weather sites anyways.

BOLIEVE!

It didn't (unfortunately I suppose you could say).

A lot of 2007 was actually ok. Not unlike the sky at the moment.

2007 was not ok. Anywhere

[The Nal]

Since when were the BBC ever accurate?

I've seen several places still predicting average weather, and it's changed ever day this week anyhow.

Changed for the worst. High pressure period is over. Can feel it in the air today, more cloud and wind. We've missed the good weather by a week unfortunately.

Nearly everyone now predicting "a breakdown" from high pressure mid next week. Right from the mid Atlantic across to central/north Europe.

Optimism was fun while it lasted but we're fucked now. Looks like we're getting 2007 part 2.

2007 was not ok. Anywhere

Those pics are from 2007. Lovely sunset there. A lot of the festival was like that.

You'll forgive me if I wait for a forecast a little more concrete, you've been the voice of doom on the weather threads for as long as they've been running.

Some miseries in here today. Best that it changes today which gives high pressure chance to move in again next week. As to whoever asked then in my opinion 97 was worse than 07 although my age in 07 made it harder work by Sunday Night.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 24 Jun 2014 to Thursday 3 Jul 2014:

High pressure will continue to bring fine and dry weather to many parts through Tuesday and Wednesday with good spells of sunshine, especially in the south and southwest. It will be cloudier in the north with showery rain over Scotland, particularly the northwest where locally heavy, and this may move southwards across eastern areas later. Feeling warm in the sunshine and perhaps very warm in the south, but somewhat cooler in the north. From Thursday onwards, however, high pressure is likely to decline allowing more changeable conditions with cloud and rain pushing in across western and northwestern parts. However, southeastern parts may hang on to the dry and fine weather until the weekend. Most likely remaining changeable into the following week with occasional rain interspersed with drier spells.

It's gonna be epic

I don't remember 2007 having much sun at all. Friday afternoon maybe?

I remember the sun glaring off the mud at times. But it was so changeable that it was lashing rain 10 minutes later.

Going to be like this next week. We'll be sitting on the grass on Wednesday and then we'll wake up on Thursday morning to welly time.

They'll be sold out of those WWII style ponchos too. No sitting down from Thursday on, mud all over the toilets, pissing rain during the headliners.

[Wooderson]

In a couple weeks ask Nal what he made of this years Glasters.

[frostypaw]

Oh look - all the forecasts have changed again LOL

You know it's getting pretty dull having you post this every six hours. Get over it, it's reality - it's your problem not understanding the forecasts, not vice versa

[Swine_Glasto2014]

Hahaha @ Nal I've just had that attitude with my missus and she's deleted me on our group Facebook chat!

[ThomThomDrum]

Sounds like Heaven! Hopefully the police will be on hand to marshal the selling of wellies as it can get out of control!

[frostypaw]

Some people are real wind up merchants. There's NOTHING indicating an 07 situation, just a few usual suspects having 'fun' by making it sound awful and worrying people.

[Swine_Glasto2014]

I'm worried

Nal is doing a sterling job as best efests troll since Mike99!

In the nicest possible way - shut the f up.

It was a joke as the LOL suggested as indeed all the forecasts had changed.

I am pretty sick of people like you who seem to have no humour.

[geoffboycott]

that's not really relevant tho. It's going to be an absolute belter in Pilton this weekend, but the high pressure is currently thought to end sometime next week.

Isn't it just GL Looking vv nice this w'end.

Could be worse that 2007...........who knows?

[Yesiamaduck]

I'm worried

Don't be, the only indication thus far is a couple of LIGHT showers which isn't enough to crap on the site. Sure the is a chance that the low pressure may come in a lot quicker than expected and the bad weather front nudges it's way south but by the same token the high pressure could hang around longer than is expected and stop the bad weather from going anywhere near Glastonbury. IT'S AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER which wont have any real clarity until next week.

1998? Doubt it.

It's all good....I prepared for a nuclear fall out, rain won't affect me.

It's just disappointing after weeks of the hot stuff

A similar change in the forecast also happened in 2010 on the Friday before, and then reverted to high pressure throughout which we will hopefully get confirmed on Sunday...
